i have had a similar problem recently , and the garage said the box was shafted! After being told that a recon box would set be back £1500, I managed to pick up a 2nd hand box for less than £100 and now there is no problem 8-)
hi there i've got a '97 3.0 elite and the auto box is shafted! After finding that a recon box is going to cost £1500 i a looking for a donor vehicle. Will a box from a different sized engine omega fit? I spoke to a main dealer and they said that vauxhall only use two different auto boxes (not sure how true this is!) but i am non the wiser as to which models use which box Can anyone help??
hi ya, i'm after some advice... I've got a 97 miggy elite with the 3.0 V6 lump, and i bought it with little if any history!!
Clearly it is in my best interest to have the Cam belt changed but this is quoted at around £350 at the local garage. Does anyone know how difficult a job it is to do it myself? I'm not a complete numpty when it comes to mechanics, but i have never done one before!!
speaking of being breathalised, i used to work as a delivery driver for a kebab shop - regularily driving a beat up old fiesta around in the early hours of the morning. I was once pulled over three times in a night and breathlised twice!! the copper really was not amused the second time around (now about 2:30am) when i asked him if he wanted to save some of my tax money and i'll use the same tube as was given to me earlier!!
